Huh? The physical console itself is crap now! Some of it's games gameplay wise have held up pretty well over the years though, but others like Mario Kart and Goldeneye I can't even play anymore! The awful controller design doesn't help it's case either, especially with big handed people like me! :L


You know what they say about big hands?

3D graphics made it much easier to innovate and introduce new ideas. But other than that, N64 is not a better system than either GameCube nor SNES.

You're forgetting 4 person multi-player with 4 controller ports standard.  The SNES didn't have it, even the PS2 didn't have it.

Hmm. No, not really. It had no Metroid, GCN had two of the top three Metroid games of all time. I personally like WW better than both N64 Zelda's. Pikmin 1 and 2 also propelled GCN ahead of it in my mind.

For me:
Gamecube

SNES

Wii U (So far)

NES

 N64

Wii

 

Wii U has started off wonderfully in terms of software imo. Already a library that is rivaling the lowly Wii.

I can play all of your cool N64 games on my Wii, and also NES games, and SNES games, and my large collection of GameCube and Wii games. Thanks for reminding me.


no you cant

It lacks in the RPG area which makes me disagree on it being the best Nintendo console. But it does have my favorite graphics. For some reason I really love the N64s outdated looking 3D games and textures, theyre nostalgic to me XD

n64 and super nes are tied for me.

SNES is better rounded as an overall platform, but the N64 maybe had more spectacular raw efforts from Nintendo, you could just sense that every game from them in the N64 days was like them pushing themselves to their max ability.

If Nintendo had compromised with a cart/CD system for third parties on the N64 (Saturn supported both), I think it easily would've eclipsed the SNES in overall software quality because it would've gotten a lot of third party support.

YES

Best console
Best controller
Best games
Most powerful (Ironically)


It wasnt the most powerfull. It was in theory, but in practice all those "modern effects" it had made performance cripple. I think they were about on par, being N64 the most advanced feature wise.

It didn't have CGI fmv but 3D graphics was always better on N64... it was a gen of difference over PS1 or Saturn.

oops sorry, i though you had knowledge on the matter.  i guess you are too young

The N64 had some hang ups with the RAM I believe. It made a solid frame rate tricky to lock in. The Playstation also had more disc space for more detailed textures and such. Developers would cut the quality of N64 game textures and sounds so they could spend less on a cartridge with less storage. That gave the PS some eye and ear candy, but as far as raw processing power, the PS didn't come close to the N64.

And the Saturn was actually more or less on par with the N64. It was a bitch to develope for because of the crazy hardware, but if a developer took the time to take full advantage of the hardware, the outcome was beautiful for its day.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m
